Hi Aniket

Thank you for your comment and interest in our online training.

At current our online system does not include any live training or direct interaction with tutors and therefore it is very difficult for us to offer any form of certification. The format also means there is no obvious end to the course, as students may use the courseware as a reference after completing all projects. It is rare that in this industry a potential employer or client will ask you for certification or proof of certain skills, as this will normally be displayed through your showreel and example work however, if you did require some reference from Escape to prove you had taken the training, we would be happy to assist.

The course is delivered as an extensive library of HD video tutorials which are streamed direct to your own account, accessible through our website. There is a constant thread to the training, however you also receive full access to all material for the duration of 12 months and can view tutorials whenever and as many times as you like. There are certain functions such as the related tab and search bar which allow you to find material quickly and effectively and the Q&A system means that you can contact tutors if you have any questions regarding the course.

The best way for you to learn more about the training and online system is to register for our current Advanced Lighting trial, which is on our website at:

The reason for the open format is to allow students of all differing levels and commitments to adapt the course to their schedule and learning speed.

Should you have any further questions regarding our online training or would like to discuss purchasing the courseware, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Kind Regards

Paul
